Party City Returns to Europe Through Staples Partnership
Party City, the once-dominant party supply chain that filed for bankruptcy in late 2024, has made a strategic comeback through a partnership with Staples. The deal brings "mini" Party City shops to more than 700 Staples locations across the United States, with plans to expand to additional stores throughout 2026.
The in-store popups stock Party City staples including helium balloons, decorations, tableware, and party favors, while leveraging Staples' existing print services for custom banners, invitations, and yard signs. The collaboration comes as demand for celebration spending remains strong, with nearly 4 million high school students expected to graduate in 2026.
Customers can expect launch deals including buy-two-get-one balloons, discounted party supplies, and inflated balloon bouquets starting under $20 .
